Hello All,
I am building a 12m long retaining wall to level out a slope so a car can be parked on it.
The max hight of the wall will be 400mm to 100mm
It is also on a slight hill.
Am looking at putting cowra pebels as a surface.
I was originally looking at boral pyrmont blocks but than found the tasman system which are more than half the price so im leaning towards the tasmans which work in much the same way as the pyrmont except they have lips instead of interconnecting pins.
I was also thinking about putting allot of bricks i have spare to use.
If i was to use the bricks should i put in a agie drain the same way as i would for the tasman blocks.
What footing would i need to put down?
Can i get away without using reo?
The bricks i have are sold bricks which are about 30 years old

The cost of the tasman blocks would be about $534 + gravel
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated
Happy New year guys.:U
